NetEase's Marvel Rivals is generating immense excitement ahead of its Season 1 update. Many players are eager to gain early access. This guide explains how to potentially join the select group enjoying the update early.
The buzz surrounding Marvel Rivals' Season 1 stems from the steady stream of online reveals. The developers are showcasing the new content via social media videos, but early access provided to select streamers has left many feeling excluded. Here's how you might secure early access in future updates.
Early access is granted to members of the game's Creator Community. This group of players applied and were approved for early access to updates and exclusive information. While it may seem exclusive, anyone can apply. Follow these steps:
Important Note: While the application doesn't explicitly request metrics like subscriber counts, applicants should have an established online presence. Newly created accounts solely for early access are unlikely to be successful.

Expect two new playable characters, Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman, alongside new maps, game modes, and a substantial Battle Pass offering 10 unlockable skins (including Blood Berserker Wolverine and Bounty Hunter Rocket Raccoon).
Existing characters will also receive balance adjustments (buffs and nerfs). For a detailed breakdown, consult The Escapist's comprehensive analysis.
